Today I bring you my review for the third book in the series that I am slowly, but surely getting through.
I love this small time romance and although every book can be read as standalone, I think the best reading experience is to read it in order.
Powerless was released on February 10th 2023 and it has 396 pages.
About the book:
FROM GOODREADS /
Two childhood friends. Two broken hearts. One impromptu road trip to get away from everything. That’s all this was supposed to be. Afterall, I’ve been living in the friend zone for years now.
But hockey heartthrob Jasper Gervais isn’t looking at me like a friend anymore. And he isn’t touching me like one either.
To his fans, he’s the handsome, talented athlete on TV. But to me he’s still the lost boy with sad eyes and a heart of gold.
The man I’ve loved in secret for years.
So when my life falls apart on my wedding day, it only makes sense that he’s the one to swoop in and save me. And when his world comes crashing down around him, I’m there to return the favor.
But the more time we spend alone, the more Jasper doesn’t feel like a friend at all. He feels like everything I’ve ever wanted and thought I could never have.
Our feelings aren’t straight forward though. They twist and turn around the pain of his past and the reality of my present.
Jasper Gervais acts like he wants me.
But after years of turning me away, he’s going to need to prove it.
Review:
This was a good book, a third one from a very good book series, but I had a difficult time to be fully invested into the story, as I couldn’t understand the logic characters from this book were lead by.
Therefore, this was my least favorite book in the series.
I didn’t have problem with main characters Sloane and Jasper, but the side characters.
Who was the least understandable to me were Sloane’s parents: father who would take her awful ex’ side or her mother who was there but it was like she wasn’t there really.
I just couldn’t believe them.
As for the other aspects of the story, I loved the small town all the books take place in. Road trip parts I didn’t enjoy.
Jasper and Sloane’s story is specific and little bit controversial because he got his eyes on her when she was practically illegal, and even though he didn’t act on it, it still felt little uncomfortable to read about it.
Later, when they were older and had beautiful connection, it was hard for me to understand why they didn’t act on their feelings sooner.
I mean, I get that this was a forbidden love (even though I still don’t understand why because Jasper is a catch, he is a sportsman and has money), but they were adults.
Anyway, this was a good fill in book and I am looking forward to read the fourth book in the series.
